piant code from VIN#

Hello i need to replace the rear bumper on my 2004 buick rainier medium metallic red..I found one at a pretty reasonable price and they will also paint it for me to match they say all they need to get a color match is the VIN# they get there paint straight from the dealer. is that possible with just a vin#..or should i get the paint code from the glove box .
thanks

Re: piant code from VIN#

You should be able to find the paint code on the Service Parts Identification Label, which on the Rainer is located in the glovebox. The paint code will be the one that starts with two numbers and ends in U.

You can also private message me the VIN and I'll look it up in our records.

Unfortunately that doesn't appear to me a valid VIN in our system, but the that code should be the paint code for your truck.
